With Remembrance Day in mind, Kevin Potter sent us this letter:

This a picture of our father, Sid Potter, who served from 1944 to 1952. Our parents "landed " in Marmora from England via Toronto in 1954. Sid worked as a millwright at the mine from 1954 to 1974. I and my four siblings (Steven, Malcolm, Janice and Jo-Anne) were raised in Marmora and have such fond memories of growing up there. It was like our own Mayberry.

Our father passed away in May 2016 at the age 92.

There is one picture of him posted on the Marmora Historical website installing an electric motor at the Marmora arena. I remember helping him as a kid rebuild the ice plant for the arena.Our parents often talked about how they considered Marmora their "real" home.
